No, I'm not you, and of course you can make your own decisions based on your own criteria. But you've chosen to express it here, and it's perfectly reasonable for me to respond to what you said.
On this issue, if someone is against sidewalk plowing because they believe it is a bad idea and that other solutions are better, they should have supported the pilot, as that would have demonstrated they are correct.
Opposing a pilot suggests that they either arrogantly believe they are right and don't need evidence to back up their opinions, or that they fear evidence will prove them wrong, and would rather not be proven wrong. Either way, it's an anti-evidence based person, not someone I would ever agree with.
While I support sidewalk clearing, I understood and accepted that a pilot would be a great way to show that I am either correct, or incorrect...which is why I supported it.
So when you comment that Davey made specific claims as to the cost and effectiveness of sidewalk clearing that he has no evidence for then voted against gathering such evidence and thus has your support, it's not prejudice, it's simply judging...based on the evidence you've given. Feel free to give me more to go on.
